WELL—this very thing is being tried right now Baking Powder if it contains Albumen (sometimes called white of egg) has been declared illegal and its sale stopped in State after State. Have these misguided manufacturers changed their ways and are they now trying to make and sell a pure and legal baking powder? They are fighting the pure food laws and the pure food officials Albumen in baking powder is no aid in the baking the U. S. Govern ment states this, but it makes possible the fraudulent" Water Glass Test." All the National and State Pure Food Officials at their last annual meeting condemned this fraudulent "Water Class Test.** (Maybe they have tried it on you.)

M. Fish er, president of the Ramsey County National bank, and one of the exten sive farmers of this section of the state, failed to worry the financier in the least. The letter was received last evening and bears the signature of "Bad Man," leaving further identifi cation to the imagination of the public. The letter directs that the money be left at the cornerstone of the Fisher farm near the city of Devils Lake Sat- Bad Man. The bank president was further in formed that failure to leave the money at the desired place would result in the big barn on the Fisher farm being destroyed by fire. Giving the letter to the public will result in more hard luck overtaking him. Mr. Fisher looks upon the communication as the product of an overbalanced mind. So far as can be learned he hasn't the least idea of meeting the reqhest in any respect.

Hull, vice pres ident and general manager W. C. Steele, secretary-treasurer Ray W. Davis, assistant secretary-treasurer Harry Pederson, captain, and Joseph M. Erickson, engineer.

Dinnie, of Minot, who is racing her first season on the Great Western cir cuit, took the 2:20 pace at Burlington, Iowa, yesterday in two straight heats, the first in 2:09 1-4 and the second in 2:08 1-2. The purse was $1,500. This is three weeks in succession that Sadie Densmore has captured the race in this class. She is no longer looked upon as a freak whose wonder ful performance in winning her maid en race and tying the world's record for mares four years old, was an acci dent, but is considered the queen of her class. Racing men are unable to comprehend her wonderful gait and the ease with which she negotiates the mile. The track at Burlington yesterday was heavy and this is not the kind upon which she seems to do her best work. Her performance in winning three weeks in succession in her first year on the track is something that has never occurred in the history of rac ing. The entries on the Great West ern circuit include the best horses in the whole country.

They have the best roads anywhere in the county, and traveling through their township is a pleasure." There are 22 of the Pogue houses in cluded in the deal and the trading of the splendid land by Mr. Canfield for them, which is only a portion of the transaction, shows in what demand Fargo property is held. Mr. Canfield is a Sanborn banker and he is taking the property as an investment. That he is sure of the rapid growth of the city is assured by this transaction. The land entering into the transaction includes three finely improved farms, the entire 1,600 acres being valued at $66,000. The transaction was made through C. C. Schuyler and F. A. Thomas for Mr. Pogue and W. W. Hubbard for Mr. Canfield. MANY SILOS ARE ERECTED Leith, N.

U-w1 PAGE THUEft Bismarck, Aug. 12.—The interstata commerce commission has just hand ed down an important decision bear ing on rates to be charged for hauling farm products in this territory. Last winter the railroads of the northwest filed tariifs proposing advances in rates which would have increased freight costs per annum as follows: Grain and grain products $2,940,23? Live stock 1,500,000 Packing house products.."... 1,500,000 Increase on farm products and manufactures there from $5,940,237 Increase on coal and other commodities 1,664,010 Total increase $7,604,247 The board of railroad commission ers of this state joined with the rail road commissions of other states in opposing these rate increases, expend ing some $5,000 special funds provid ed by the last legislature for this pur pose, and devoting the time of the commission and two of its employes for three months to assist in the pre paration of the case at Chicago. The decision just announced denies any increase in farm products rates, sav ing the farmers of the northwest about $5,000,000 annually, and with the bumper crop which now seems assur ed, the actual freight increase would probably have been much larger than estimated above. If these increases had been allowed it seems probable that further in creases in grain rates would have been sought, as several witnesses in this case testified that the grain rates in North Dakota as a whole were much too low. The board of railroad commission ers early realized that this case was of great importance to tne people or this state and immediately went be fore the legislature and presented the matter fully in order to secure funds to join other state railroad commis sions in opposing the proposed ad vances. The railroad commission is pleased that there is no present necessity of rates on grain and other farm products being increased, and feel that this de cision of the interstate commerce commission fully confirms their view that the present rates are fair to the carriers.
